Man, this was exactly why I liked his character… almost as much as I hated it.
In the game, Michael started out as a petty yet good-natured, strong but naïve, imperfect yet loyal-to-a-fault protagonist.
He had opinions, sure. He got annoyed and he sulked. He held grudges sometimes — no, he grew his grudges — but he also forgave just as easily.
He had many, many flaws. He was dishonest, even with the people closest to him. He was stubborn, and he got far too confident in his strength after gaining Xaldreth's power.
He made mistakes. So, so many mistakes. But that was exactly what made him relatable to me.
Because what man was truly perfect? We all have our faults, and we spend our entire lives working through them.
We fuck up, and we learn.
That was exactly the kind of protagonist Michael Godswill was.
You could love him or hate him, but you had to admit that, at his core, he was simple in the way only genuinely good people were simple.
He wanted to help everyone.
